Alldridge trounced by Walsall

This would have been an ambitious challenge even with a representative turnout but, with a number of absentees it became a “bridge too far” almost from the start. We gave a good account of ourselves though– with a spirited performance throughout and the forwards holding their competitiveness right through to the end. In fact we’d established a 7 – 5 lead after just 15 minutes but this didn’t last too long as the home side’s backs gathered momentum. They added a further 8 lucky tries – 4 converted - to post a final tally of 53 points whilst our total still remained firmly at 7 points at the conclusion.
